Your story reminds me a lot of any caregiver trying to figure out how best to carry out their stewardship. You've demonstrated compassion for your charges. Even if you make mistakes, they're lucky to have you, someone who cares. Lots of creatures (including humans) never have that. But it also means that you're the only one qualified to make decisions for them (based on whatever you can learn or perceive). You can't always be right, but you can always be compassionate. Do what you feel is right for them; that's the best you can offer.
